I love js. But the date object has always been a total pain. Moment.js is a good package to deal with it, but yeah, it's currently deprecated, but it would be nice if it or something like it became part of ECMAScript.
I have no idea why it hasn't yet, except that it might be that js needs to work for everyone, not just the us. So time is not standard.
The date API is like the original rip of the Java date API. Barely changed, and totally backwards compatible nonsense.
Temporal is the new JavaScript/ECMAScript date API.
It's stage 3, and likely stable (just a few kinks being worked out). So you could polyfill it for production.

Speaking of Java RipS. How annoying is it the JS has left Java in the dust as far as looser standards?
Developing in Java: YOU FORGOT A SEMI-COLON ARE YOU CRAZY?! HOW IS THE COMPILER SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO?!
Developing in JS: Who gives a fuck about semi-colons?
You may be interested in the datefns library if you need a replacement for momentjs.
